She is said to have been one of 13 children and was William Edgar Hall's grandmother. She was also the alleged instigator of the arranged marriage between her son Albert Eustis Hall and her sister's daughter Mabel Wood for the purpose of keeping the Hall money in the Wood family.

From Jeff Hall:

Could be one of the more interresting Halls. His parents had a good deal of wealth through hard work and he grew up in this environment. It is said that he was supposed to have attended Lake Forest School but may not have started or finished. 

At the age of 26 he apparently eloped with Elizabeth Behrs, a little educated first generation daughter of German immigrants. They went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to be married by a judge in 1881. It appears that this significantly displeased his parents. They had two boys within two years. 

As a result of fighting or the parents wish to separated them or because his mother wanted him to marry his cousin, Albert was packed off to Leadville, Colorado, to live on the range for two years.  When he returned the divorce was apparently begun and he and his parents removed to Worcester because of the scandal of divorce.

In Worcester, he eventually married his cousin, Mabel Fiske, and worked as a bookkeeper.

His wife died pregnant in April 1900 of uremia and he followed suit about three and a half months later. His obituary claimed that he died of grief and he apparently failed terribly after his wife's death. He had even enlisted the help of clairvoyants to contact his wife in death. He is buried in the family plot at Hope Cemetary in Worcester, Mass.

In recent conversations with Gloria Brown Engle, Elizabeth Behrs grand-daughter, she felt that Albert was of poor health and may even have had Tuberculosis. We know his obituary said that he had asthma.

Also Gloria thought that Elizabeth Behrs worked as a domestic, possibly cook, for the Wm. Eustis Hall family in Chicago. Elizabeth's father John Paul Behr was employed by the Pullman Company which is exactly where Wm. E. Hall worked when he first came to Chicago.

Notes:

From Jeff Hall:

Albert Lee Hall was born in Worcester, Mass. possibly on 578 Pleasant Street and attended public schools where he excelled academically. He claims to have been born on the kitchen table. He did not appear to be very involved in sports. He was on the debating team at Classical High School. 

He attended Amherst College just before "The Great Depression" and then went on to Harvard Law School. At Amherst he said he did run track and had a great deal of difficulty passing the colleges mandatory swimming requirement, but he finally did. Wm F. Hall, his brother, said that at his graduation he was not allowed to receive his diploma with the class because he had not met his swimming requirement and that his parents were very worried about where he was as he did not attend. He apparently had gone to the president of the college's house to get a waiver so he could graduate but they did not give it to him. He received his diploma later that summer.  

After marrying Queeneze Olson, who he met during the presidential campaign of Landon and Knox, he went into the service during W.W.II in the Army Air Corp. He achieved the rank of Captain. After the war the couple moved to Pittsfield, Mass. where Albert was a lawyer for the Berkshire Life Insurance Company. Their sons William and Jeffrey were born there. After a brief stint in private practice the family moved to West Hartford, Conn. where Albert was Mortgage Loan Officer for the Aetna Life Insurance Co.

By the time of his retirement, Albert had few outside interests other than reading and short vacations to Maine. He and his wife spent much of their time at home in their later years. Albert's health failed slowly from arthritis and inactivity. He had chronic kidney stones and a bout of diverticulitis that required surgery at which time he had a small stroke. He managed for a while at home, but eventually spent the last two years of his life at Saint Mary Home, a nursing home, where he died in West Hartford at the age of 87 years.

He was smart, personable when he wanted to be, a hard worker and provider for his family. Also never one to turn away "a spot of bourbon".  He predeceased his wife by 2 years.  They are buried together in the West Hartford Cemetery.
